Welcome to part 2 of my European summer 2022 travel vlog with Contiki—aka the “Rome to Barcelona by Train” trip. This video is basically three mini-trips in one: we kick things off with a chaotic night in Monaco, then head to Marseille where I’m still thinking about how good the food was, and then we settle into several days in Barcelona. It’s very much that classic “go-go-go but make it fun” travel energy, with a lot of little real-life moments in between. In Barcelona, I’m doing all the iconic things I wanted to do—making paella, watching flamenco, and just soaking up the city vibe. If you’re into travel diaries that feel like you’re actually there with me (not just a highlight reel), this one is for you. Also: my Contiki discount code changed to “MORGAN,” and you can use it to save $100 on this trip or any other Contiki tour—so if you’ve been wanting to do a train-based Europe route, this is your sign.
